ROMmon Overview
The ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XND image is provided to customers in cases where a ROMmon upgrade is required. A ROMmon upgrade using the ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XND image is only necessary in cases where a system message indicates one of the ROMmon on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers needs an upgrade, or a Cisco technical support representative suggests upgrading ROMmon. A ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XND upgrade can be applied to any of the following hardware components on a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router:

Integrated RP1, field-replaceable ESP, and integrated SIP10 on Cisco ASR 1002 Router (Cisco ASR1002) Integrated RP1, ESP, and SIP10 on Cisco ASR 1002-Fixed Router (Cisco ASR 1002-F) Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor 1 (Cisco ASR1000-RP1) Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor 2 (Cisco ASR1000-RP2) 5-Gbps Cisco ASR 1000 Series ESP (Cisco ASR1000-ESP5) 10-Gbps Cisco ASR 1000 Series ESP (Cisco ASR1000-ESP10)

Compatibility Requirements

Cisco ASR 1000 Embedded Services Processor 10G Non Crypto Capable (Cisco ASR1000-ESP10-N) 20-Gbps Cisco ASR 1000 Series ESP (Cisco ASR1000-ESP20) Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface Processor (SIP) (Cisco ASR1000-SIP10)

The ROMmon software for RPs, ESPs, and SIPs can be upgraded collectively or individually using the asr1000-rommon.122-33r.XND.pkg file.

Compatibility Requirements
The asr1000-rommon.122-33r.XND.pkg file can be used to upgrade RP, ESP, and SIP ROMmon as long as the privileged EXEC or diagnostic mode prompt on the router can be accessed. All system components must be running Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0 or a later release before the ROMmon upgrade to ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XND is performed. After any system component has been upgraded to ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XND, the user cannot run any Cisco IOS XE release earlier than Cisco IOS XE 2.3.0. If the user needs to run a Cisco IOS XE release earlier than Cisco IOS XE 2.3.0, the ROMmon version must first be downgraded to ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XNB before attempting to boot the earlier Cisco IOS XE release. Downgrades to supported ROMmon versions will convert the ROMVAR table to the proper smaller size. ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XN1, ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XN2, ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XNB, and ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XNC are all supported in the downgrade procedure.

Note

When the ROMVAR table is converted to a smaller size for a downgrade to ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XN1, ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XN2, and ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XNB, the downgrade will stop and report an error condition if the ROMVAR table usage exceeds the supported size for the target release. The error will instruct the user to drop the system to the ROMmon prompt and clear some variable settings. Follow these instructions to continue the downgrade. For customers requiring a FIPS 140-2 compliant environment, ROMmon Version 12.2(33r)XND is a required update.

Upgrading ROMmon

Upgrading ROMmon Overview

If you are unsure if a ROMmon upgrade is required or if you have installed a new RP, ESP, or SIP in your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router or a new Cisco ASR 1002 Router that requires an upgrade, see the Checking the Current ROMmon Version section on page 3.

Checking the Current ROMmon Version

Enter the show rom-monitor slot or show platform command to check the version of ROMmon running on any RP, ESP, or SIP in your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router. If the following output appears after the show rom-monitor slot or show platform command is entered, the RP, ESP, or SIP processor in the specified slot is already running ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XND:
Router# show rom-monitor slot System Bootstrap, Version 12.2(33r)XND, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport Copyright (c) 2009 by cisco Systems, Inc.

If output indicating an earlier ROMmon version or a system message indicates one of the ROMmon on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers needs an upgrade, a ROMmon upgrade may benefit the RP, ESP, or SIP:

Upgrading ROMmon

Upgrading ROMmon for All RPs, ESPs, and SIPS on a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router
Use this procedure to upgrade ROMmon for all RPs, ESPs, and SIPS on a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router to ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XND:

Note

All system components must be running Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0 or a later release before the ROMmon upgrade to ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XND is performed. (Optional) Enter the show platform command or the show rom-monitor slot command for each RP, ESP, and SIP in the router to see the current versions of ROMmon on the hardware. See the Checking the Current ROMmon Version section on page 3 for information about interpreting this output. If the ROMmon image has not been copied onto the router, copy the asr1000-rommon.122-33r.XND.pkg file that was made available as part of this release onto the bootflash: or usb[0-1]: file system using the copy source-URL destination-URL command. Enter the dir file-system command to confirm the file was copied into the desired directory. Enter the upgrade rom-monitor filename URL all command to begin the ROMmon image upgrade, where URL is the path to the ROMmon file.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3 Step 4

Caution

Do not remove hardware, turn off power, or interrupt the router in any way during the ROMmon upgrade. Although the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router should be able to recover from most interruptions during the ROMmon upgrade, certain scenarios may cause unpredictable problems. Messages regarding the upgrade will appear on the console. After these messages have stopped and the router prompt is available, enter the reload command to reload the router. Enter the boot filesystem:/file-url command after the rommon prompt to boot the Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0 or later image, where filesystem:/file-url is the path to the consolidated package file. The ROMmon upgrade is not permanent for any piece of hardware until the Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0 or later image is booted Enter the enable command at the user prompt to enter privileged EXEC mode after the boot is complete. Enter the show platform command or the show rom-monitor slot command for each RP, ESP, and SIP in the router to confirm the ROMmon has been upgraded.

Use this procedure to upgrade ROMmon for a single RP, ESP, or SIP on a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router to ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XND:

Note

All system components must be running Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0 or a later release before the ROMmon upgrade to ROMmon Release 12.2(33r)XND is performed. (Optional) Enter the show platform command or the show rom-monitor slot command for each RP, ESP, and SIP in the router to see the current versions of ROMmon on the hardware.

Step 5

Messages regarding the upgrade will appear on the console. After these messages have stopped and the router prompt is available, enter the hw-module slot slot reload command to reload the hardware that was upgraded.

Note

The hw-module slot slot reload command cannot be used to reload an active RP. If you must reload an active RP to complete a ROMmon upgrade, reload the RP using one of the following methods: - Enter reload to reload the entire router. - Force a switchover using the redundancy force-switchover command, and then enter the hw-module slot slot reload command on the RP after it has become the standby RP.

Note

The ROMmon upgrade is not permanent for any piece of hardware until the Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0 or later image is booted. If ROMmon is configured to manually boot on your system, you must manually execute the boot command to boot the Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0 or later image to make the upgrade permanent. Enter the show platform command or the show rom-monitor slot command for each RP, ESP, and SIP in the router to confirm the ROMmon has been upgraded.
